… it will be much warmer in Merangding this winter. As this space is often also the living and sleeping area, everyone is happy to be able to keep the window bars closed when cooking. The new ovens have a chimney pipe and no longer spread the smoke around the room. This also significantly increases safety for the children.
Many thanks to Fair Styria, who responded flexibly to our needs.
… are prepared for marketing in Chyangsar and Ghunsa. Whether traditionally or in the Solar Dryer, dried goods can be transported more easily and without time pressure.
Dried vegetables, also as traditional pickles and tea are 2 good options.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting the cooperative on its way to commercialisation.
… the women in Kunikhop are also happy about the compost toilets. Especially in this village, it was very important to us to improve the sanitary conditions. In addition, agriculture is benefiting. We are looking forward to the great results.
Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for the construction and continuous support of the model farm.
… is one of the principles of the Farmers Field School. During the training, the women record everything on the model farm in detail to see what leads to good results, what needs to be paid attention to, what does not work.
The women, who can write well, write down quantities, times and which seeds were used.
This intensive support is made possible by the support of the Schoeck Family Foundation
… the women in Ghunsa can now produce themselves with their composting toilets. However, correct use is an important prerequisite, so in addition to training, there is also a poster to “look up” for each toilet ? .
After use, liquid can be used immediately, solid can be used for agriculture after 6 months of proper composting.
One of our women in Ghunsa has been doing this since we tested the first prototype and already has fertile compost. So the others can learn from her too.
Many thanks to Fair Styria for funding the toilets.
… the van with the stoves had to fight its way to Kunikhop. It is still the rainy season, so some of the roads are hardly passable. The women were all the happier to be able to carry the stoves home safely on foot.
Now only the pipe has to be led safely outside, then nothing stands in the way of a smoke-free warm kitchen ?
Many thanks to @fair styria, whose support made this possible.
Together at last …
… our girls can live in Sallerie from autumn. For the 11th and 12th grade they cannot stay in the villages, the walk to school would simply be too long with more than 4 hours. So far we have only been able to rent individual rooms, now they can live here together and we hope to be able to run the lower 2 floors as a hostel in the longer term.
We are currently working intensively on the financing for this.
Many thanks to the sponsors who have accompanied the girls until the end of grade 10. We hope to get more support for the higher education which is starting well.
… are the new stoves for the women in Merangding. They can cook with them and the smoke goes outside through the flue. For the children, too, there is less danger of reaching into the open fire or falling.
The joy is great ?
Many thanks to @fair styria for the financial support.
… in Chyangsar also needs care. All wooden parts of the training hall were impregnated with a good oil so that they will last for a long time.
We are happy how beautiful it has become and thank our supporters.
… they train for the next round of certification. First there is theory – men are also starting to take an interest, then everything is practised under the strict supervision of the experts. Of course, there is always fun where many women work together and the children are also present.
We are already looking forward to rich yields and new varieties.
Many thanks to Schoeck Family Foundation for their great support.
